Telephone Company's
There are two hard wired phone companies in DR: Verizon and Tricom. There are two more that only deal in wireless service: Orange (GSM) and Centenial (born out of Hola America). Not all these companies provide service to the whole country. Most service only the most important cities in the country. The only true national company (and the oldest) is Verizon.
Not according to indotelricktoronto said:Tricom has what, 3 phones in service ?
Cantidad de lineas: A junio del 2004: Celulares: 312,541, L?neas: 153,324 l?neas.
Tricom doesn't has 3 lines but in fixed services and cellphone service doesn't has all over the country as Verizon.
Verizon has a mayor number or customers in all kind of services.

The reason I was asking about the phone company is I was just wondering how involved it would be to invest in starting a new local/long distance phone company in the dr.

Tricom anyone?
My dads telephone company called Westel (check us out www.westel.net) helped to start a joint venture telephone company in Mexico called Marcatel.
I think a big difference between here and the US is the access to the infrastructure. In the US, phone companies are required to provide a customer access to phone service by another company by the customer paying an access charge. Here in the DR, if you want another company besides Vorizon, it has to run a wire from their office to your house. Vorizon does't have to provide access through their wires.
